A question about Eugeo, from the web novel spoilers I read so far he isn't mentioned, is he a character added in the LN?
Or did he die, with Kirito inheriting his white sword, making him a dual wielder like in SAO?

i love SAO and AW for the love story, but also because i think they show the most realistic example of future devices that our nephews, and I hope we too, will have in some decades.

Some blind people can now see thanks to a device very similar to the NervGear. It's matter of time when we could browse our mail pointing to the air like Haru does.

Sorry for my english. I write lots everyday in Italian for my job, i can read books, watch movies, talk perfectly in english but for a misterious reason i can not write in it. Chiedo venia (ancient italian way to say I'm sorry)

I'm not exactly sure I want such a device to be honest. The Neurolinker basically reads a person's brain signals to produce an output, and while certain actions still require hand gestures, it is still too dangerous. To be able to read your brain signals accurately basically means that whoever's sponsoring you the device had the means to monitor your every actions. It's like having an open webcam spying on you 24 hours a day unless you took it off, which defeats the purpose of using the device itself.

Another problem is that our hardwares simply could not catch up to the speed our softwares are advancing. The latest prototype Virtual Reality machine right now is expected to come out this 2014, and for a device who could only fit ONE person it costs such humongous amounts of money it's unthinkable that our generation could enjoy a Nerve Gear dream anytime soon.

they said the same thing about the 3d television, the laptops, the smartphones etc. etc.

I'm not sure that our generation will se something like that. But thing like google glasses are right beyond the corner...

there are already device that could do it. It is now just a matter of cutting the manufacturing cost.

Does it mention what fighting style Ronie, Teiza, and Alice use? What type of weapon they use? Their sword skills?

I appreciate if anyone could provide the info, it would be really useful to me.

Someone answer this man's question

I have to admit, I'll be interested to see how Kirito keeps on getting roped into so many Virtual Reality RPGs after the traumas of Sword Art Online. That would be like a soldier came home from Vietnam and went "Wee that was fun, I hope another war starts up soon!"

And a simple question: Sword Art Online covered a decent expanse of time, I think two years exactly, and I know the novels jump around quite a bit. During what year does the current story (whatever that might be) take place?

A question about Eugeo, from the web novel spoilers I read so far he isn't mentioned, is he a character added in the LN?

Eugeo was here in the previous two volumes of Alicization... what made you think he wasn't in the LNs? >.>

As for what happens to Eugeo in Web version (HEAVY spoiler ahead):

Spoiler for Eugeo (and Kirito):

He dies. Somewhere in Ch7 (I haven't read this bit, it's not translated into Chinese yet) he dueled a brainwashed/reprogrammed Alice and was killed by her. Kirito was so devastated that he went into 'Zero-fill' mode (like the kind in AW) for 6 months, though this was also due to American hacking and his STL losing power because of that. After being emotionally and spiritually broken for months Kirito got better because of Eugeo's fluctlight refusing to pass on, supporting him emotionally. From the last chapter of Alicization Eugeo (or at least some part of him) is 'haunting' Kirito, staying in the background and always ready to step in to help if needed.

And yes, Kirito does dual-wield with Eugeo's white sword after Eugeo's dead.

Eugeo did not fight with Alice at all. Alice already formed an alliance with Kirito and Eugeo before the final battle with Administrator. Eugeo died due to lost of life points after being cut in half by Administrator.

Fair enough, I did mention I haven't read that part due to it not being translated. All I got was a extract at the part where

Spoiler for Eugeo:

his endurance stat (or w/e it's called) went to zero and he faded away in a shower of light particles, along with a chunk of Alice's memory.

Thank you for answering, and yes, I noticed he was in the LN
In the web novel spoilers I read here, Eugeo wasn't mentioned (or can't remember), so I wondered if Eugeo is a character that wasn't in the web novel version, but added by Kawahara in the LN version.
